Preliminary Watercolor Background that Were Submitted to Animators/Directors for Approval before Master Background Was Created - notes at bottom are to the background artists. Size: 6.75"" x 5.75"

This background was used in the production of The Ren & Stimpy Show. The Ren and Stimpy Show is an American/Canadian animated television series created by Canadian animator John Kricfalusi. The series follows the adventures of the eponymous characters: Ren Höek, a neurotic "asthma-hound" chihuahua, and Stimpson J. Cat, — a simpleminded manx cat. They wander around in nonsensical adventures in a style reminiscent of the Golden Age of American animation. A series from the children's cable network Nickelodeon, The Ren and Stimpy Show had a reputation for subversive humor. The controversy mostly stemmed from imagery and cartoon violence. In 1992, Nickelodeon fired Kricfalusi and production moved from Kricfalusi's Spümcø studios to Games Animation, where it stayed until its cancellation in 1997.A series from the children's cable network Nickelodeon, The Ren and Stimpy Show had a reputation for subversive humor.
